Listings for Appfolio

Description

The Listings for Appfolio WordPress plugin is a tool designed to integrate Appfolio property management services with WordPress websites. It helps property managers and real estate professionals seamlessly display their property listings on their WordPress site by pulling data directly from their Appfolio account using a shortcode.

?? Appfolio + WordPress Integration made Simple

The old iframe method of displaying appfolio listings does not allow site owners to customize the styling of the listings. This plugin will give you freedom to make any changes to the listings page.
All your appfolio listings will be shown in an interactive way which you can customize using CSS easily. Listings page have an optional google map as well. You will also get all the filters from your appfolio listings page.

Reviews

Fast, efficient, accurate support of the Listings for AppFolio plugin

seansloan777 November 8, 2024

They got back to me within hours, pointed out that the mistake was mine (a 301 redirect of the listing detail page containing short code) and didn’t laugh too hard as I ate humble pie. Very happy with the plugin and the support thus far and would recommend both.

THE.BEST customer support!

leadmouse August 7, 2024

I needed to customize and make the listing pages for a client’s website more visually appealing. The Listings for Appfolio app has answered those needs and then some. It was very easy to set up the colors, fonts, and pages featuring specific property groups. I ran into some areas that I needed more customization and their customer service was extremely quick and provided easy to follow directions and the code that I needed.Property Management Company in FloridaDivi ThemeListings separated into groups

Helpful Plugin, Great Support

The plugin is doing exactly what we want it to do so far. I reached out to support on how to do something and it turns out the function wasn’t available yet. They thought it was a valuable idea and within a couple of days they added it to the plugin for everyone to use.

Their Support is Awesome!
